Post Index--A Work in Progress

So, I read an article by Jakob Nielsen about usability issues with blogs. One of the items that he mentioned was making sure that readers can find good posts without having to troll through the archives. So, that's what this post is for. As I have opportunity (and desire), I will try to organize my posts in broad categories right here. I will leave out posts that are only links to other sites.
